Elder Bednar shares address at BYU-Hawaii commencement

Faith in Christ overcomes fear of the future, Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve told graduates of Brigham Young University-Hawaii during commencement exercises on Dec. 15. More than 270 students from around the world participated in this year's winter graduation.

Recalling a story about Stonewall Jackson, a general in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, Elder Bednar shared how the war hero's famous words, "Never take counsel from your fears," have helped more than just the soldiers he led.
